The Hongsheng Building is easy to find. Ji Xiaoyu has seen it before entering the small street. It is the tallest and most stylish building in this area. He carried the takeaway basket and the wind was blowing all the way, and flexibly and skillfully avoided the crowded pedestrians on the road. Five minutes later, he arrived at the ground floor of Hongsheng Building A, and he had to pass the security check before entering the lobby.
The security guard was about twenty-six or seven years old, tall and thin, with dark skin, small eyes, but bright eyes, and at a glance, Ji Xiaoyu was pulled out of the coming and going staff.
Ji Xiaoyu glanced at the nameplate on the chest of the security guard, whose name was Liang Shaogang, and he called out "Brother Liang" sweetly, saying that he was here to deliver food.
Liang Shaogang clearly didn't like his tricks, so he jumped out word by word with a stern face like a robot: "Please show your valid ID. Which floor are you going to? Who are you looking for?"
Ji Xiaoyu had to honestly take out his ID card, and quickly and clearly explained the questions one by one. Liang Shaogang registered them one by one, and then made an internal call to verify his identity with Miss Zhou, who ordered the takeaway, and then let him go.
This time, after another three or four minutes, Ji Xiaoyu hurriedly walked into the lobby, and then drifted on the marble floor as smooth as a mirror. Many people in the lobby looked over.
At the same time, the elevator for the management on the other side of the lobby just opened, and a tall and tall man in a formal suit stepped out. After a glimpse, he vaguely saw half of Ji Xiaoyu's face, the staff elevator Just closed the door.
As soon as the man appeared, the noisy lobby instantly disappeared, and everyone was as quiet as a chicken. Liang Shaogang also quickly stood up from his seat, standing as straight as a javelin.
"Mr. Cheng, what's wrong?" The assistant next to him followed the man's line of sight, but found nothing unusual.
Cheng Yutang turned around and said, "It's okay, let's go."
It was just a delivery boy, he must have read it wrong, how could there be such a coincidence.
On the other side, Ji Xiaoyu took the elevator to the 12th floor. The elevator in the middle stopped several times, and people kept coming in and out. When he finally reached the 12th floor and found room 1208, the electronic clock in the corridor showed that it was just ten seconds before the half hour agreed by Li Defa and Miss Zhou.
He straightened the little yellow hat on his head, calmly rang the doorbell, and when a sweet-looking girl in a dress came to open the door, he smiled at her with the standard eight teeth: "Miss Zhou, right? Hello, I'm the waiter of 'Old Li's Home Cooking', and I'm bringing you takeaway."
"Wow, he's a handsome little guy!" The other party exclaimed in surprise, almost blinded by Ji Xiaoyu's neat little white teeth dazzling.
…
Ten minutes later, Ji Xiaoyu returned to Lao Li's home cooking on Screw Street, gave Li Defa the 48 yuan he received for takeout in one hand, and sucked on a cup of milk tea in the other, with two pieces of chocolate in his pocket.
The milk tea and chocolate were given to Ji Xiaoyu by the lady Zhou who ordered the takeaway just now. The other party asked him curiously at the time if he was a college student working part-time during the summer vacation and if he had a girlfriend. The girl who ordered the meal with Miss Zhou also joked, saying how he would thank him if he helped him with publicity in the future and asked other colleagues to order takeout from Lao Li's family.
Although Ji Xiaoyu has always been sharp and sharp, she doesn't know how to deal with the teasing of girls. She blushed at that time and couldn't answer, making the two girls laugh non-stop.
Li Defa took the money, with a smile on his face, and then gave orders to Ji Xiaoyu to do this and that.
With milk tea and chocolate at the bottom, Ji Xiaoyu felt a little better in her stomach and worked more calmly.
Business was better than usual tonight. Some people were wandering outside, glanced at the restaurant unintentionally, and suddenly turned in. There are more female customers in particular, and they are obviously aimed at Ji Xiaoyu. The daring stare directly and recklessly, while the shy ones sneak a few glances, or whisper a few words with their companions.
Ji Xiaoyu was turned around by Li De's support, and he couldn't notice the various eyes of the guests at all. Even if he noticed him, he wouldn't take it seriously. I had seen this kind of situation a lot in that hotel in Xingcheng, and I was already numb.
When all the guests left, the restaurant closed, it was almost nine o'clock, and Ji Xiaoyu was hungry again.
Li Defa was obviously in a good mood. He sat down at the table with a tea jug in his hand, and said calmly while drinking, "Little Ji..."
"...You call me Xiaoyu." Ji Xiaoyu said quickly, the chicken sounds too awkward, he is already a big chicken. Well, in every sense.
He can't help but confidently lift his chest, which is not thick, but not thin.
Li Defa was in a good mood, so he changed his words fluently: "Oh, Xiaoyu, your accent doesn't sound like a native of Ning City. Did you come from out of town to go to university?"
Ji Xiaoyu said: "I'm really not from Ningshi, I didn't go to university, I live in a village below Qingshan Town. My parents passed away very early, and I'm the only one in my family, because it's hard to find a job in the town. I came to Ning City to work."
In fact, he never even went to kindergarten, but he used this rhetoric last year, and it was basically the truth, so he opened his mouth and took out his ID card and graduation certificate from his backpack to show Li Defa.
Zhang Qiaoyan was still tidying up the store, and she said with great sympathy, "Xiaoyu, it's not easy for you to live alone."
"It's not easy, but you are still young, work hard and work hard, and one day you will be outstanding." Li Defa said solemnly, "Xiaoyu, your performance just now was not bad, I can keep you, but this is only temporary. ，The probation period is one month. After one month, there is no problem before you can become a regular. This is a standard. During the probation period, the salary is one thousand eighteen, and the salary after the regularization is two thousand eighteen. The salary paid by Uncle Li is the highest salary on our street. , if you don't believe me, you can go and find out."
Ji Xiaoyu agreed without much thought: "Okay, you have the final say."
Compared with the hotel in Xingcheng before, the salary here is a little lower, but his requirements are not too high now. It is enough to have a place to stay temporarily. When he has more money, he can change to a better job. .
"Okay, that's it!" Li Defa slapped the table hard, the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes could catch flies.
"Hey, what is this?" Zhang Qiaoyan said suddenly.
She was wiping the window sill of the kitchen, and there was a flower cloth bag carried by Ji Xiaoyu on it. When she moved the flower cloth bag, the tethering rope was unraveled, and a small round and smooth thing rolled out from it, whirling and spinning, and soon Rolled over the edge of the countertop.
Li Defa only felt a flower before his eyes, and Ji Xiaoyu, who was sitting opposite him, disappeared.
Ji Xiaoyu screamed with a "ga", and rushed forward with a stride, copying the little white egg that was half-fallen in a free-fall motion in his hand.
Zhang Qiaoyan: "..."
She hadn't seen clearly what it was, but was taken aback by Ji Xiaoyu's exaggerated reaction, and said nervously, "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it! Xiaoyu, what is that? Didn't it break?"
"It's alright, it's fine." Ji Xiaoyu touched the little white egg that was intact in the palm of his hand, and the heart that mentioned the throat just now fell back to its original place, and then put the little white egg back in the flower cloth bag, "This is ... uh, a keepsake from my partner."
"Wow, Xiaoyu, you already have a partner?" Zhang Qiaoyan exclaimed.
This lie caused Ji Xiaoyu to get goosebumps all over himself. He lowered his head in disguise, his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, and he gritted his teeth secretly: "Yeah, but it's already divided."
In the eyes of others, he looks like he has been emotionally wounded and devastated.
Zhang Qiaoyan suddenly felt more sympathy: "Xiaoyu, don't be sad, you are so handsome, there will definitely be better girls who like you. Why don't my sister introduce you to one?"
Ji Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head: "Thank you, Sister Qiaoyan, but no need, I don't want to find another partner now, I just want to make money."
This is the truth. Don't say that he has never thought about anyone. Right now, he is still carrying eggs, and his first task is to make money to buy milk powder. How can he have the spare time to harm other girls.
"That's right!" Li Defa slapped his thigh. "What's the rush of young people? As long as you have money, you won't be able to find any kind of beautiful girl. Work hard, Uncle Li will not treat you badly in the future!"
Zhang Qiaoyan pouted in disapproval.
Ji Xiaoyu replied obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Li, I will."
"Okay, it's getting late, it's time to rest. Xiaoyu, although our shop doesn't do breakfast, we still have a lot of things to do in the morning, including stocking up, preparing dishes, and opening the pot... Nothing can be delayed, so you have to get up at eight in the morning. Work, don't sleep late tomorrow."
"No problem, don't worry!" Ji Xiaoyu answered with a sonorous force.
Since the egg was born, Ji Xiaoyu's drowsiness has disappeared automatically, and he has returned to his previous state.
As soon as the words fell, Ji Xiaoyu's stomach made a rumbling sound, he coughed a little embarrassingly, and said, "Uncle Li, I haven't had dinner yet, can I make this meal? I want to eat double-cooked pork. "
Li Defa: "..."
It is the first time he has seen a restaurant that he has opened for so many years.
Zhang Qiaoyan covered her mouth and smiled.
But who asked Boss Li to recruit a new and highly cost-effective guy and was in a good mood. It only took a few minutes to fry twice-cooked pork, so he happily agreed.
Half an hour later, when the bucket of white rice reached the bottom, Ji Xiaoyu was finally full, and contentedly burped with a strong taste of boiled meat.
